Green Lantern

We had such high hopes for this and we are sad to say that it's another epic fail for DC Comics & Warner Bros.  The last two comic book adaptations from DC have been really bad (Superman Returns & Jonah Hex).  We don't know if it's just bad screenwriting because the casting has actually been very good.  We are not going to bash DC because the comic books have great stories, and that should give some of these "A"-List screenwriters some idea on how to write the story.  Anyway the story took to long to explain itself especially for an orgins story.  The film was way over CGI'd it could have used a practical suit as opposed to a CGI'd one.  The weaponary, the Green Lantern Corps, understandable CGI but the suit way is too much and in 3D it's way too much on the eyes.  What makes this even worse it's not true 3D it's conversion. We have no problem with Ryan Reynolds but we have like too have seen him better as Deadpool to be honest.  Overall Green Lantern had potenial but it failed in it's execution.
